Bullying Statistics and Trends
📌 Data from KPAI in 2025 shows an increase in bullying victims compared to the previous year.
📈 Throughout 2025, KPAI received over 370 reports of bullying cases, marking an 18% rise from 2024, mostly occurring in junior high and high schools.
💥 The spike in bullying cases, up 18% in the current year, is linked to the new student admission trend, fostering issues of juniority and seniority within schools.

Patterns and Causes of School Violence
🗓️ Violence surges are typically observed in September, October, and November due to the transition period following new student orientation and the establishment of new power dynamics.
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 The holiday break period often sees a cycle of school gang recruitment, which is described as an annual ritual.
😔 The perpetrator in the SMA Negeri 72 Jakarta incident reportedly felt isolated and lacked a venue to confide, highlighting underlying social pressure and loneliness among adolescents.

Addressing and Preventing Bullying
🗣️ Educators must be more sensitive to student complaints regarding bullying and avoid dismissing them as mere jokes, emphasizing the need for shared awareness.
🤝 Building good communication and educational perspectives among parents, teachers, and children is crucial for creating a positive ecosystem, as advocated by movements like "Eling Community."
🧠 Psychologists stress that bottling up feelings, even when trying to appear strong, can lead to severe emotional buildup ("ngedam"), underscoring the need for disclosure and reporting.
👩‍💼 Schools are enhancing support systems by strengthening counseling spaces, integrating professional counselors, and forming online support communities.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ The root cause of bullying extends beyond the individual perpetrator to the school culture that might not feel entirely safe for all students.
➡️ Quick reporting and psychological support for victims are critical, as every child has the right to feel safe in school, their perceived second home.
➡️ Unaddressed psychological pressure and isolation can push teenagers towards extreme actions, requiring collective responsibility to intervene.
